Momo: Please forgive my being direct, Pintsize, but I believe attaching this to your chassis would throw off your balance. Have you considered something a little ... smaller? Pintsize: Hey! No sizeism!May: I ... I think it is trying to tell me something ...

Dale: "According to WoWHead the drop rate for the Vial of the Sands is around 2% from the canopic jars.

Ah, found an interesting user comment on trying to imagine how a certain Cata development meeting must have occurred:

"All right, so alchemists have been complaining that they don't have a special perk for their profession. Ideas, anyone?""How about a two-person drake that they can craft? A very expensive two-person drake?""Good idea... Let's make it more than just expensive, though. I want them to work for this.""I know, let's have them find the recipe via archaeology.""Yeah, it could be inside canopic jars. We could call the recipe 'Vial of the Sands,' because, you know, Uldum's got sand...""But not *every* canopic jar... that'd be too easy.""Right, right, it'll be a rare drop within the canopic jar.""Ooh, how about this? Let's add a feature to the archaeology program to make sure that players doing archaeology rarely get Uldum digsites. We'll boost the Night Elf digsites instead. That'll drive 'em mad.""So, to summarize, here's what we've got: They have to wait for random Uldum digsites to appear.... and when they finally DO get Uldum sites, they have to wait for the random canopic jar artifact to appear... we'll make sure they get plenty of other Tol'vir artifacts. When they finally get enough fragments to solve the canopic jar, it'll be completely random if the Vial of the Sands recipe is inside. This way, they'll be slaving over archaeology for months, painstakingly solving jar after jar with no apparent progress towards their goal.""Oh, that's devious. I like it. Good meeting, folks. Let's implement this! "
